Via Rush Limbaugh – Well said….

“You know, if I had a father, he would look like “Shorty” Delbert Belton, and, if I had a son, he’d look like Chris Lane. Nobody’s gonna say that. Obama has not called the parents of Chris Lane. I don’t know if Obama has called anybody related to “Shorty” Delbert Belton, but these two were people killed by bored, thug-wannabe African-Americans. There still has been more outrage over a rodeo clown wearing an Obama mask than either of these two events combined. It’s this kind of thing — this cultural rot, this decay — that you can’t even address without being called a racist”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Via e-mail we rec’d a question:   Does anyone recognize the flag on the right?

…  She lived in up-state New York  […] Gumbinger was found dead in her home at 22 Underhill Ave. early Wednesday morning.
Freer said police are still at Gumbinger’s home Underhill Avenue today [Saturday] and expect to finish processing the crime scene this afternoon or evening.

“We’re still processing evidence,” he said. “We anticipate completing the scene processing sometime today.”
Police charged Javon Tyrek Rogers, 20, of the City of Poughkeepsie, with first-degree murder and first-degree burglary around 11 p.m. in connection with the homicide of Fannie Gumbinger, 99, city police Detective Lt. Edward Freer said in a written release late Friday night. (more…)

Things change –
It was never called a living room.  That would have been a bit pretentious.
The front room had sheer curtains on the one south-facing window; an upright piano until about 1951 when it was replaced by a studio piano; a maroon patterned rug with huge flowers in the print; and a floor model combination Hi-Fi/radio after we got electricity in 1949 or ’50.
That Hi-Fi did amazing service. We could, and did, stack twelve 78 RPMs with music such as Her Royal Majesty’s Marine Band, or very special 33 1/3s like Bugs Bunny and His Friends. That was one of only two children’s records we had so it was played over and over and over. Eventually, my brother and I had it perfectly memorized and performed it for our own amusement, with sound effects, on long car trips to California or Iowa. Good times.

Side Question:  How come the media has stopped using the word WMD now that President Obama is in office?   Oh well,…..

Some things are more reflective than others.   A famous person once said: those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, or something similar.   Well, this is one Obama Administration repetition worth highlighting.

On Wednesday of last week the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the recent chemical attacks being witnessed in Syria.   Those chemical and/or biological attacks have been a great source of international attention and concern.
However, our U.N. Ambassador, Samantha Power, was conspicuously absent from the Security Council meeting.   The Administration was questioned, and the White House mysteriously avoided answering where she was.   Why was the United States not present during the meeting?   Where was Samantha Power?
Today it is reported she missed the meeting in order to attend a Charlie Chaplin Film Festival.   No joke, this is the real reason.   It sure explains why the White House was dodging the question and refused to answer.
But here comes the historical context. (more…)
